jonthomson's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Buster Trailer]

Nice trailer!

This trailer was better than most, and looked like it might have actually been a good movie. Shame it doesn't appear like you made it. The graphics and sound were good, and it's an OK idea. Hopefully you put your efforts to other, better movies.

[Lemonhead Pacman]

Poor Pacman clone

I didn't like this too much - the character should keep moving once you press a direction, not move one space every press. It's hard to see when you have the power pill activated, and it's basically boring. Pacman has been done better than this in preloaders! Nice idea with the teleporter though.

[I show it as it is]

OK, but unoriginal

The idea is good, but I've seen this done better elsewhere (maybe not at the time of the release of this though). It's a bit boring in that clicking everything gives the same pop-up. I'll give it average marks as it's not horrible but it's not great.

[Misc.]

Aptly titled

Miscellaneous sums it up quite well - a decent little shooting game, and a couple of other random things to play with too. Not bad at all. Could have done with a few sounds to help its cause.

[Wake up Ray]

Hardly a game

Guess which of the three buttons will wake Ray up. That's not a game, that's just poor. Short, pointless and dull. At least the graphics were OK and there was the odd good sound clip.

[Smack the Tennis Monkey]

Not a bad little game

Didn't see a huge amount of difference between the difficulty levels. It's fun to play, but I thought the scoring system was a bit buggy, and your character was difficult to control at times. Great background track in use there.

[Randomize! Beta Version]

Not a bad game, but simple

It's a game we've all seen before, easy enough to play and learn. But it's not that fun and it gets boring. Could have done with some sound, and the timer seemed to be broken. It's a good start, it can be improved.

[sQ-Alien Escape]

If this is yours, it's OK

Not a bad lander game. However, I've seen many games near identical to this removed through being stolen. If this IS yours, it's pretty good, and difficult to play. And given that many reviews already point to Flashkit, I doubt it.

[CrazyBall]

OK if unrealistic pinball

The second pinball game I've seen on Newgrounds, and I think the other one was a bit better. The table has a few features, but the whole game just seemed unrealistic, especially the reaction of the ball to the flippers. It's not bad for a quick bash, but pinball is best played in real life and is not easily emulated to a computer.
